Ubuntu Sun

As some people like dark themes and some people like bright themes, why not combine them into one set of matching themes with different shades? This is an idea for a Metacity theme that is based on the idea of having the sun shine into your windows. Could there be a better leitmotiv for the window design of a lucid release? The theme could be combined with any GTK theme if they are modified to have flat menu and tool bars.Concept

The user can choose between three different moods of the theme, representing different positions of the sun and thus different levels of brightness: Dawn, Day and Dusk.

I like it. I often adjust my display, as at night it is too bright, and during the day too hard to see. I sometimes use the negative feature of compiz too. This could help. I just hope that the transition will be smooth and not distracting. I also hope that the transition between black and white letters will be readable. High contrast is important.

About changing the tone depending on time: Great idea, but I don’t think that this is possible. But what maybe would be possible is to select the initial theme depending on what time of day the user is installing Ubuntu…

And just to make one thing clear: This is just a proposal – I’m no member of the Ubuntu Art team, just a regular user, so I really have no influence whether this or something like that will be the default theme or even on the CD
